Slack Wax, minimally refined paraffinic wax obtained from the dewaxing process of base oil lubricants. It is used in a wide range of applications, including as a blending component in the production of paraffin waxes, as a waterproofing agent, and in the manufacture of candles, rust protective products, and board sizing.
Production Capacity: 30,000 ton a year while in a month 2500 ton
Product Color: Light Yellow
Location: Basra ports (Um Qasir or any other ports) Iraq
Loading Method: Ibc Tank
Slack Wax is mixture of paraffin wax and oil originated from petroleum crude oil. Slack Wax oil content can range from 10% to 30%
The traditional usage of Paraffin Slack Wax is in the production of fully refined paraffin wax. And other major usage are for particle board and medium density fiberboard, cable filing compound , matches, candles, rust protective products and moisture vapor barriers.

Slack wax is used in emulsions, construction board, matches, candles, rust protective products and moisture vapor barriers, polishes, inks, carbon paper and externally can be applied as good dust suppressants or controlled-release agents for various chemical and fertilizers.

Slack Wax is produced during the production of Group I lube base oil. During production of Group I lube base oil, the feedstock firstly has to go through solvent extraction process to remove aromatics and the resultant product is called raffinate. The raffinate is then diluted with solvent like methyl-ethyl ketone (MEK) to lower its viscosity to improve low-temperature filterability. The diluted oil is then chilled to -10�°C to -20�°C. Wax crystals will form, precipitate and removed by filtration. The removed wax becomes Slack Wax.

With the continuous closure of Group I base oil plant which decrease supply, and new major applications for Slack Wax as feedstock for low sulfur fuel and Group III base oil plant, the price of Paraffin Slack Wax has since increased by a staggering 300% since early 2000
